Most everyone is going to tell you whatever they purchased is the best. I don't think anyone will tell you what they purchased is crap or they made a mistake in their purchase decision. While it may be the best for them, it may not be the best for you. Go to the shows and do your research. We...

Hi, How doe you like the Compress printer? I was considering one but there is not much owner info out there. Thanks!

We wound purchasing the Leister Hemtek ST and couldn't be happier. It does have a learning curve and you absolutely need to get the alignment gauge. Practice, practice, practice and you'll get great hems.

Purchasing extended warranties can be a difficult decision. When we started out with our first printer we opted to extend the warranty for the 2nd year. As we added printers it didn't make sense to spend all that extra money on extended warranties as the likelihood of incurring repair costs in...

I'm glad to hear a positive experience. The Leister rep is coming to my shop on Monday for a demo. I hope it goes well. I was looking forward to purchasing the machine.

That sucks. Not the feedback I was hoping for. What are you going to try next?

How is it going with your Hemtek ST? Considering purchasing one. Miller T2 is too expensive for basically the same machine. Eliminated the RS RBW-1500S.

So I just received a nice brochure in the mail today offering $6,000 in incentives on the S80600. What is your recommendation? Should I buy one or not????

Thanks, I agree wholeheartedly.

I guess I missed the point. Funny thing is that how some members with hundreds or thousands of posts are too busy to take small jobs because their time is too valuable.

I was just being lighthearted, but I see you have no sense of humor. I would hazard a guess that Roland is giving you exactly what they say especially when weights and measures are involved. They would be subject to lawsuits not to mention a PR nightmare if they were "cheating" the public as you...

Amen. After I get done weighing my ink, I'm going to count the sheets of toilet paper on each roll. After all, you need to control costs and make sure your getting what you pay for.

None taken. I have not, nor would I ever purchase a used piece of equipment that I had to depend on to use in my business. In my opinion, it's simply not worth the risk.

Ah, makes sense. Did you try the support forum on the Roland website? May be a better targeted audience. I'm considering adding the VG to our shop and would be curious how this get resolved. I learned a long time ago that if the dealer won't give you their cell number for after hours support, I...

I don't mean to sound rude or offending, but why wouldn't you call your dealer to answer this question? That's what dealers do, they provide service and support. Unless of course you purchased this used, which is a lesson in itself.

Looks great in the pics. I can only wonder how much better it would look if it were printed using solvent inks?????

Thanks for the reply. I still think the color is more vibrant on the Roland TruVIS compared to the HP's when viewed side by side. Maybe I'll by both.

Hello, I'm going through a similar analysis in looking at a printer. I've come to the conclusion that I would not buy a used printer period. I was also leaning toward latex, but after more research, I've decided to go with solvent. I also need a cutter so buying 2 machines, a printer and a...

Hi, I've been looking for a 54" printer cutter as well. My local dealer carries both Mimaki & Roland so I'm able to compare them literally side by side. I think the print quality using the expanded inset on the Roland TrueVIS VG is better, but in CMYK I feel they are equal. I do like the Roland...
